Nice to see some new music I have never heard in here. Foolz, first and third songs are not for me. Beastie Boys are fine, not my favorite but they need to be in here.

I was in my car and heard a few more songs, two of which were Prince songs so I guess that is a sign to add him. Homer here it is.

Prince

Purple Rain  - Never seen the movie, is it good?

Kiss - Prince seems to hate youtube, I cant get the video.

Little Red Corvette - Best metaphor ever.

1999

Lets go crazy/Take me with u

I would die 4 U

Partyman and Trust- Remember this from Batman, now that I think about it why is Prince music in Batman? Who thought that was a good match. Eh it strangely worked.

When Doves Cry - His masterpiece

Huey Lewis and the News  (where the hell did all these bands go?)

Back in time

Hip to be Square  - Will forever be linked to someone being axed to death

I want a new drug

Heart and Soul

Happy to be stuck with you

If this is it

Heart of Rock and Roll

Power of Love - I want to see BTTF now.

U2 - Here are some of my 80's favorites of theirs

With or without you

Sunday Bloody Sunday

Pride

I still haven't found what I am looking for - I love this song

And now random stuff

Rockwell - I always feel like someone is watching me  - Ha now you have this song stuck in your head. This Rockwell guy is a relative of some big music producer, clearly he has no talent but the music producer allowed him to make his own album. He was friends with Michael Jackson so he got him to sing that one line and automatically its a hit song.

Corey Heart - I wear my Sunglass at Night   - Wesker's theme song

Tommy Tutone - 8675309 (Jenny) -  Now this is in your head.

Rick Springfield - Jessie's Girl

Eddie Money - Take me home tonight

Real Life - Send me an Angel - Hey these guys are from Australia.

Baltimora - Tarazan Boy  - So cheesy and awesome. How many of you remember this?

Man I love this music. I assume you guys know all these hits right? Most of it is dumb cheesy music I know but I'll take that over the hits we have today any time.

Billy Joel Rock Band?

Guess what that means, Billy Joel time!

Christy Brinkley is hot.

For the longest time

It's still rock and roll to me

You may be right

Allentown

Tell her about it

Pressure

Keeping the Faith

We Didn't Start the Fire

He has a lot of stuff in the 70s and the awesome 90s song "River of Dreams" but that isn't from the 80's. Billy Joel is awesome and I am glad he is in Rock Band.

Billy Joel. Attempted suicide early in life, so that's cool, shows he's a deep thinker. Got married to Christy Brinkly, excellent.  Got all pretentious and released classical music under William Joel -- nice, shows he's keping it real in terms of self expression.

Then does this based on a whim.  Nice.

I fail. Billy Preston covered it.  I thought his version was the original.
